<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Nokia<\/a> CEO Pekka Lundmark has said that India is not late on 5G<\/a> but needs affordable airwaves for top dollar investments and wider adoption. Speaking to ET's Danish Khan and Romit Guha, his first media interaction in India since taking over in 2020, Lundmark said Nokia is set to invest a big part of its global R&D spending in India, which is its biggest operations globally, with the maximum head count. Edited excerpts:

Where does India fit into Nokia's global scheme of things?
<\/strong>
India is the number one country in terms of employment for Nokia with 15,000 employees out of 90,000 globally. It is one of the largest markets in the world and is now entering an extremely important stage with the introduction of 5G and the upcoming auctions. India is also a significant manufacturing base for us. We are managing our global product deliveries from India and are managing from our Indian operations over 100 networks in other parts of the world. So, from all aspects India is clearly on top of the list in terms of priority for us.

Do you think 5G is a missed opportunity for India, given the delay in roll outs?
<\/strong>
It's definitely not a missed opportunity in any way. India has made great progress through 4G and now is the natural time to introduce 5G. The auctions are now coming. We are engaging with our customers actively.

What is the impact of chip shortage on Nokia's global and India business?
<\/strong>
There is a structural deficiency in semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the world at the moment. We have seen the situation stabilise recently, but it is still tight, and it will still take some time before the markets find a new balance. The new Covid outbreaks in different parts of the world could again lead to production challenges in the semiconductor industry. I believe that we have handled the very difficult situations extremely well for our customers.

Will the ongoing war in Europe add to the supply chain challenges?

<\/strong>There is no direct impact of it but then what the indirect effects could be is too early to say.

To what extent does the absence of China’s
Huawei<\/a> and ZTE benefit Nokia in India?
<\/strong>
We position Nokia as a trusted vendor. When it comes to the Chinese vendors, we do not comment.

How much are you planning to invest in India over the next year?
<\/strong>
Our big investment is in R&D. Our global R&D investment last year was over 4 billion euros and it has actually been increasing. And the most likely scenario is that it will still continue to increase in India.

What are your views on pricing of 5G airwaves in India?<\/strong>

The more affordable the frequency allocations, the stronger would be the effect that fuels the economy.

Is there more pricing power for companies like Nokia in India, given that there are fewer vendors now?
<\/strong>
India has always been a very competitive market, and I don't think that will change. Indian telcos are extremely hard to negotiate with. The hardest in the world, you might say.

What is your view of India from a policy certainty, stability point of view?<\/strong>

The policymakers make their own decisions. A market with a significant number of operators is typically not healthy. It's not for me to say what exactly is the right number of operators for each country, but in most countries, it is converging towards three or four telcos.

Your thoughts on the new network security setup that India has come up for trusted sources and products. Does that not increase compliance costs and delay roll outs?<\/strong>

This is not an India specific issue. The importance of trustworthiness of vendors is increasing in all parts of the world. And the measures that have to be taken in terms of product security, network security are not that different between different parts of the world.

Will you increase investments in local manufacturing to gradually reduce manufacturing presence in China and move to India?
<\/strong>
It is our customers who will decide where it makes sense for us to operate. But the more market share we get, of course, the more India (manufacturing) would also benefit. Chennai is an extremely important factory and now with 5G, the importance is only increasing. Chennai serves as a global factory where roughly half of production stays in India and half is exported.

Your views on the ongoing battle between the satcom industry and telecom operators over millimetre wave spectrum.
<\/strong>
We see satellites as more complementary to the ground-based networks than competing. They both have their respective roles, and in many cases, especially in rural areas, it (satcom) can really complement.

Satellite networks need connections, backhaul networks on the ground. We are involved in some of these discussions. But country-specific frequency allocation decisions are hard for us to get into.

诺基亚首席执行官佩Lundmark表示,印度也不迟5克但需要负担得起的电波顶级美元投资和更广泛的采用。对ET的丹麦汗和Romit Guha(他的第一媒体交互在印度2020年上任以来,Lundmark说,诺基亚将其全球研发支出的很大一部分投资于印度,这是其最大业务在全球范围内,与最大人数。编辑摘录:

印度哪里适合诺基亚的全球计划的事情吗?

印度是一个国家的就业数量诺基亚90000在全球拥有15000名员工。它是世界上最大的市场之一,目前进入了一个极为重要的阶段5 g的引入和即将到来的拍卖。印度也是一个重要的制造业基地。我们管理我们的全球产品交付来自印度和管理从我们的印度业务超过100个网络在世界的其他地方。因此,从各个方面印度显然是在为我们的优先级列表。

你认为印度的5 g是一个错失的机会,考虑到延迟辊出局?

它肯定不是一个错失的良机。印度已经取得了很大的进步通过4 g和现在是自然时间介绍5克。拍卖现在来了。我们正在积极与我们的客户。

是什么芯片的影响诺基亚的全球短缺和印度业务?

有一个结构性缺陷半导体目前世界上生产能力。最近我们看到局势稳定,但它仍是紧,它仍然需要一些时间在市场找到一个新的平衡。新Covid疫情在世界不同的地方可能再次导致生产半导体行业的挑战。我认为,我们已经处理了非常困难的情况下为客户非常好。

持续的战争在欧洲会增加供应链的挑战?

没有直接的影响,但那可能间接影响还为时过早。

在多大程度上并没有中国的华为和中兴利益诺基亚在印度吗?

我们诺基亚定位为受信任的供应商。当谈到中国供应商,我们不做评论。

你打算投资多少在印度在明年?

我们的大型投资在研发。去年我们的全球研发投资超过40亿欧元,它实际上已经增加。最可能的情况是,在印度它仍将继续增加。

的价格你有什么意见5 g电波在印度吗?

更便宜的频率分配,将燃料经济的作用越强。

有更多的定价权等公司诺基亚在印度,鉴于现在有更少的供应商吗?

印度一直是一个竞争非常激烈的市场,我不认为这将会改变。印度电信公司很难与谈判。世界上最难的,你可能会说。

你认为印度从政策的确定,稳定性的观点吗?

决策者做出自己的决定。与大量的运营商市场通常是不健康的。不是我说什么是正确的数量的运营商对于每一个国家,但在大多数国家,这是向三个或四个电信公司汇合。

你的思想在新的网络安全设置,印度出现了信任的来源和产品。这不是增加合规成本和延迟辊出局?

这不是一个印度具体问题。供应商的诚信的重要性正在增加在世界各地的。和必须采取的措施在产品安全方面,网络安全不,不同世界不同地区之间。

你会增加投资在当地制造业逐步减少制造业在中国的业务和转移到印度吗?

是我们的客户将决定,这对我们来说是有意义的。但是我们得到的更多的市场份额,当然,更多的印度(制造业)也将从中受益。金奈是一个极为重要的工厂,现在5克,重要性只会增加。钦奈作为全球工厂生产大约一半留在印度,一半是出口。

你的意见之间的持续战斗卫星通信行业和电信运营商在毫米波谱。

我们认为卫星比竞争更地面网络的补充。他们都有各自的角色,在许多情况下,尤其是在农村地区,它(satcom)可以补充。

卫星网络连接,需要回程网络在地上。我们参与这些讨论。但具体国家的频率分配的决定是很难进入。
